If use logarithms, you should be able to do the first
            step. Use of logarithms helps you to reverse the
            exponentiation.
log(a^(c-a)*b^(a-b)*c^(b-c))=<log
            1
Use property of logarithms and transform the product in a
            sum of logarithms.
log(a^(c-a))+ log(b^(a-b))+
            log(c^(b-c))=<0 (use log1=0)
Use one of the
            four logarithmic properties: the log of the power is equal to the log of the base
            multiplied by power.
(c-a)log a + (a-b)log b+ (b-c) log
            c=<0
Use a<b<c => log a<
            log b< log c( because logarithmic function is monotonically
            increasing)
Use c-a>=a-b and add a both sides
            => c>=2a-b.
Use
            2a=<b+c
Use  Cebishev's inequality to (c-a)log a +
            (a-b)log b=< (c-b)(log a)/2+ (c-b)(log b)/2 = (c-b)(log
            ab)/2
Use the logarithmic property: the log of the power is
            equal to the log of the base multiplied by power:(c-b)(log ab)/2 = (c-b)(log
            sqrt(ab))
(c-a)log a + (a-b)log b+ (b-c) log
            c=<(c-b)(log sqrt(ab))+ (b-c) log c=< 0
The
            right side hand is (c-b)(log sqrt(ab))+ (b-c) log c=(c-b)(log sqrt(ab))- (c-b) log c=
            (c-b)log (sqrt(ab)/c) =< 0
Check each factor of
            product (c-b)log (sqrt(ab)/c) is is positive or negative: b<c =>
            0<c-b =>c-b
            positive
sqrt(ab)<c=>log (sqrt(ab)/c)
            => (c-b)log (sqrt(ab)/c) =< 0
Answer:
            Inequality (c-b)log (sqrt(ab)/c) =< 0
            proves (a^(c-a)*b^(a-b)*c^(b-c))=<1.
